The star rating is a representation of the overall rating, calculated as the mean of the client satisfaction rating, the average client interview rating, and internal interview scores.

The client satisfaction rating is the weighted average of client ratings, with weights based on reviewed work hours. When no client rating exists, the approval fraction (approved vs. reviewed work hours) determines it.

If the client satisfaction rating exceeds the overall rating, it becomes the star rating. In the absence of client ratings, if the average client interview rating is higher than the overall rating, it becomes the star rating. If no data is available, the star rating defaults to the internal interview score.

    Custom Typescript and Redux-Saga Template with CRA
    Jul 2020 - Aug 2020
    Developer
    Arts and Entertainment Industry
    • React
    • Typescript
    • Redux
    • I used React as the JavaScript Framework (library) of choice in the GitHub project
    • I demonstrated to the reader how to use the Redux Toolkit to abstract the React Redux setup process and thus reduced the boilerplate code produced in the first GitHub+ blog project.
    • I showed the reader how to setup and use Typescript as static type checker system, which means more safety and fewer bugs when shipping a react app.
